Considering the kick-boxer is a model first and athlete second, she has not only graced the covers of the sexiest magazine in the world, but set an example for fellow models wanting to break away.
Were you clothed at all? Whether Ashley Harkleroad becomes the Number 1 player in the world, or wins the 2009 Australian Open, neither is likely to happen , she will always be remembered as the Tennis player who posed in the nude for Playboy magazine in the August 2008 edition.
But what kind of experience was that? On the men's side, Fernando Verdasco and Tommy Robredo have both posed nude for charity, but in profile shots that covered their bare essentials.
Harkleroad turned pro on June 12, 2000 and quickly billed as the next American star tennis player.
Other female pros have flashed some flesh in the past but stopped short of baring it all.
The sum of her backswing and follow-through must exceed 360 degrees.
